The National Arbitration Forum ruled on the LadyGaga.org complaint last week, finding in favor of webmaster Miranda. A panel of arbitrators decided that the noncommercial fansite does not violate Lady Gaga's trademark.

Last March, celebrity phone hackings began to surface. One of the newest victims is movie star Scarlett Johansson, whose photographs were leaked to the Internet.

The pictures were hacked and stolen from one of ScarJo’s personal devices, and hit the web on Wednesday, MTV reports. Unfortunately for the star, Johansson’s photos show her in a very private light - and she doesn’t want others to see them.

One of the photos depicts Johansson topless. Another photo shows her standing with her backside exposed. These photos seem juicy enough for any celeb gossip rag - but post them at your own peril. ScarJo’s lawyers have threatened a lawsuit against anyone who posts the photos.

This might seem a little farfetched for most consumers. If you visit Twilight.com, you’ll see that the site is mainly a collection of links to Amazon pages where people can purchase Twilight-related goods.

But, think about it this way. If you’re a prepubescent teen looking to get your fix of Edward and Bella, (the main characters of the Twilight movie and book series) what site would you direct your browser to?

Madonna? Madonna's "Material Girl" song? Or "Material Girl," a clothing line made by LA Triumph?

Most likely, you'd think of Madonna first. Or, her song. But, just because Madonna is associated with the phrase "Material Girl" does not mean she has trademark rights over the name for use in business or commerce.
